To one that would do thus.-I am half through; Enter three Citizens more. Here come more voices. Your voices: for your voices I have fought; Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six 610 I have seen, and heard of; for your voices, have Done many things, some less, some more: your voices : Indeed, I would be consul. 1 Cit. He has done nobly, and cannot go without any honest man's voice. 2 Cit. Therefore let him be consul: The gods give him joy, and make him good friend to the people! 620 All. Amen, amen!-God save thee, noble consul! Cor. Worthy voices ! [Exeunt. Enter MENENIUS, with BRUTUS and SICINIUS. Men. You have stood your limitation; and the tri bunes Endue you with the people's voice: Remains, Anon do meet the senate. Cor. Is this done? Sic. The custom of request you have discharg'd: The people do admit you; and are summon'd To meet anon, upon your approbation. Cor. Where? at the senate-house? Sic. There, Coriolanus. Cor. May I change these garments? Sic. You may, sir. 630 Cor. That I'll straight do; and, knowing myself again, Repair to the senate-house. Men. I'll keep you company.-Will you along? Bru.. We stay here for the people. Sic. Fare you well. [Exeunt COR. and MEN. 640 He has it now; and by his looks, methinks, 'Tis warm at his heart. Bru. With a proud heart he wore His humble weeds: Will you dismiss the people? Re-enter Citizens. Sic. How now, my masters? have you chose this man ? 1 Cit. He has our voices, sir. Bru. We pray the gods, he may deserve your loves. 2 Cit. Amen, sir: To my poor unworthy notice, He mock'd us, when he begg'd our voices. 3 Cit. Certainly, he flouted us downright. 1 Cit No, 'tis his kind of speech-he did not mock us. 650 2 Cit. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says, He us'd us scornfully: he should have shew'd us His marks of merit, wounds receiv'd for his country. Sic. Why, so he did, I am sure. All. No, no man saw 'em. 3 Cit. He said, he had wounds, which he could shew in private ; And with his hat, thus waving it in scorn, I would be consul, says he: aged custom, But by your voices, will not so permit me; 660 Your voices therefore; When we granted that, ery? Sic. Why, either, were you ignorant to see't › Or, seeing it, of such childish friendliness To yield your voices? Bru. Could you not have told him, As you were lesson'd-When he had no power, He was your enemy; ever spake against Fiij 670 680 Sic. Sic. Thus to have said, As you were fore-advis'd, had touch'd his spirit, Tying him to aught; so, putting him to rage, You should have ta’en the advantage of his choler, Bru. Did you perceive, He did solicit you in free contempt, 691 When he did need your loves; and do you think, bodies. No heart among you? Or had you tongues, to cry Against the rectorship of judgment? Sic. Have you, Ere now, deny'd the asker? and, now again, 700 3 Cit. He's not confirm'd, we may deny him yet. 2 Cit. And will deny him: I'll have five hundred voices of that sound. 1 Cit. I twice five hundred, and their friends to piece 'em. Bru. Get you hence instantly; and tell those friends They have chose a consul, that will from them take Their liberties; make them of no more voice Than dogs, that are as often beat for barking, Sic. Let them assemble; And, on a safer judgment, all revoke Bru. Lay A fault on us, your tribunes; that we labour'd (No impediment between), but that you must Cast your election on him. Sic. Say, you chose him 710 721 More after our commandment, than as guided 731 Bru. Ay, spare us not. Say, we read lectures to you, How youngly he began to serve his country, How long continued: and what stock he springs of, The noble house o' the Marcians; from whence came That Ancus Marcius, Numa's daughter's son, Who, after great Hostilius, here was king: Of |
